Reconciliation and Witness

I am thinking about reconciliation and martyrdom. The sense that Paul and the martyrs of the church saw themselves as filling out and completing the work of Christ on the Cross, which, Colossians tell's us is the work of reconciliation, Colossians 1:15-20. This passage of Scripture is the inscription on the Icon of Jesus Christ, Pantocrator that has been by the altar at Reconciler since we began.
